In its original meaning "geil" meant "lustful", "giving pleasure", not only in a sexual meaning but also for greasy food "geiler Braten", "geiles Fleisch"- various regional slangs it's still used that way! Of course, it basically means "horny" but in the 70's youngsters started to use it as a synonym of awesome, cool, great, fantastic, wonderful, etc. also like "on fire". Nowadays, if you want to be cool you can say it for everything: ein geiler Film, eine geile Frau, eine geile Wohnung, or even: A: ,,Kommst du am Samstag zu meiner Party? B: ,,Geil, klar! Ich liebe Partys!" or ,,Ich finde diese Musik geil!"

I'm not a native German speaker, but that's what Google says :) Kraftfahrzeughaftpflichtversicherung So the longest word to be found in the German dictionary is Kraftfahrzeughaftpflichtversicherung – "motor vehicle indemnity insurance". As Mark Twain said "a word so long it has a perspective".
